Management Strategy
NEC’s three concrete strategies in line with its
mid-term management policy are as follows:
(1) Focus on Solutions for Society
NEC already supplies many types of advanced
ICT-based social infrastructure, including traffic
management, firefighting and disaster prevention
systems, water resource management systems,
seafloor seismographs and systems for electronic
medical records. These systems are designed using
our range of original sensing, next-generation
networking and IT platform technologies, which
operate in environments ranging from the seafloor
to outer space. While much of this infrastructure is
not readily visible to consumers, it nonetheless
plays an essential role in modern everyday life.
The value delivered by this social infrastructure
will become more advanced in the future as the
information used by these systems increases in
volume and complexity, taking society into the
increasingly important domain of so-called “Big
Data.” NEC possesses many original and highly
competitive ICT assets in this domain, including
advanced sensing, human interface and cloud
technologies for gathering data; advanced IT
platform technologies for high-performance analysis
of the data collected; next-generation network
technologies such as SDN to support the
transmission of huge quantities of data; and
technology related to cyber security, a social issue
that has recently gained prominence. Our aim is to
fully leverage our ICT assets to help address a
range of social issues and create new value.
Yet this wide range of social issues cannot be
addressed using our ICT assets alone. As a result,
we plan to promote increased partnering with firms
in other sectors and open innovation. By also
collaborating more closely with financial institutions,
we aim to make NEC more competitive and to
deliver enhanced value to customers.
